MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Cost Savings Estimate of Adding Six Chemicals to the 40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv) List of 

Chemical Substances

FROM: OPPT/EETD/EPAB

TO: OPPT/CCD/ECB

The Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule requires manufacturers of certain chemicals to report 

information concerning the manufacturing, processing, and use of their subject chemical. Chemicals 

listed at 40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv) are partially exempt from this reporting requirement and do not report 

the processing and use information required by 40 CFR 711.15(c)(4). The Environmental Protection 

Agency is adding Citric acid or 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-(CASRN 77-92-9); 

Trisodium citrate or 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid,2-hydroxy-,sodium salt(1:3) (CASRN 68-04-2); 

Tripotassium citrate or 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid,2-hydroxy-,potassium salt (1:3) (CASRN 866-

84-2); Fructose or D-fructose (CASRN 57-48-7); Corn steep liquor or Corn, steep liquor (CASRN 

66071-94-1); and Epoxidized soybean oil EPSO,ESBO or Soybean oil, epoxidized; E (CASRN 8013-

07-8) to this partial exemption through a direct final rulemaking. Adding these chemicals to the partial 

exemption list eliminates the requirement for manufacturers of these chemicals to report processing and 

use information (Part III) for production volumes of 25,000 lb or greater through the CDR rule.

There were 92 submissions in the CDR reporting for these six chemicals in 2012. More than a third of 

the reported manufacture or importation volume that would indicate the need for full or partial reporting 

was claimed as CBI or withheld, although one company did report a manufacturing volume of less than

25,000 lb per year. After subtracting this single submission, this analysis assumes that this direct final 

rule would eliminate Part III reporting for the remaining 91 chemical submissions. EPA estimates the 

cost of completing Part III at $4,047/report for sites that have experience reporting processing and use 

information. Based on the estimated cost per site to prepare Part III, the addition of these chemicals to 

the partial exemption list results in an estimated total cost savings to industry of $368.

Note: Cost to prepare Part III from table 4-56 in the Economic Analysis for the Final Inventory Update 

Reporting (IUR) Modifications Rule, June 30, 2011 (EPA, 2011).

The burden estimates for reporting processing and use information are 65.63 hours per report (EPA, 

2011). Based on the 2012 CDR reporting, EPA estimates that 91 submissions with manufacture volumes 

of 25,000 pounds or greater will be received for these 6 chemical substances in 2016 and subsequent 

reporting years. Eliminating the requirement to report processing and use information for these 

submissions results in a total burden savings of approximately 5,972 hours.
